Apparently this is what it takes to get a win in the T-10. M103 I can casually eek out a 51% winrate, but this is a miserable 44% despite racking up bullshit damage in it. http://wotreplays.com/site/2964639?secret=a0bc01affbe3526160d6fda0aa903110   The dead Lowe and Tiger II camped in the most useless position for most of the match, then as me and the T110e5 desperately berated them to use their HP to spot for our arty/183/us who were all one-shots they finally pushed forward and allowed us to punish their TDs. Even that they did poorly because they didn't use cover so they died almost immediately.

Load APCR, because its one advantage is having 130 APCR pen while never seeing above tier 5. 67 pen is bad, 130 pen is great and allows you to just angle 45 degrees and hold left click on tier 3s and other tier 4s and DPM them down. Shooting all APCR is kind of expensive given the rate of fire, but it's worth it. Consider it trading credits for fun and XP. It is a good trade.

Preferential matchmaking makes some really bad tanks actually tolerable if they're actually able to output damage. Even the B1, as bad as it is, can contribute in most games, and it doesn't get 130 pen APCR. Those 5CM APCR rounds are loving expensive if you have a good game, though.

Control Volume posted:Theyre both a similar amount of amazing armored bullshit tbf Played both of them tonight, the 2nd night of tanks I've played in over 2 years. In the IS-6 game, I actually carried pretty good, nothing amazing, but solid game, and got the win for our team as one of the last two survivors and the only one in position to kill the bad guy in our spawn at the end. Steel wall, 3 kills, 5k damage in a T8 game. Then I played the KV-5, killed a T6 heavy, and then got torn to shreds and bounced pretty much nothing in the process and lost. For my third and final game, jumped into the T34-85 Rudy, and forgot it doesn't have 6th sense, killed a Dicker Max then got shredded by some French arty that can apparently fire faster than my terrible crew can repair tracks. Game was still a victory though as I had about half the enemy team lit up before I died and my team actually took good advantage of that which was pretty shocking. So, 66%, seems like a good time to call it a night. Pretty sure I don't have any marathon gaming nights in me any more unless I'm platooned up which is much more fun, but probably less so for my platoon mates.

No one was buying the 112 so now that they've removed it they're buffing it to hell. Now people who have one will play them and dominate, then in a few months they'll find an excuse for a Chinese themed weekend event (they've done Chinese new year before but I doubt they'll wait that long) and they'll make it available for real money. They buffed the KV-5 because they'd been doing that for years and the population that was willing to buy a KV-5 for real money dried up. The buff attracts more buyers for this "rare tank" that's only available every other weekend. The IS-6 buff was because they hate their game and hate their players and wanted no one in t6, 7, or 8 to have any fun. It's not like they play their own game, so they don't even feel the downsides.

Even in isolation I don't think it is/was much good. No side armour, massive weak lower plate, clunky gun, burns at the drop of a hat, trainer for Chinese tanks which are pretty niche. I kind of which they made the lower plate a bit less terrible and used the 100mm gun the 110 can use. Or maybe the 111 should have had the 100mm. It's weird we have both the 112 and the 111 being almost the same but for front plate shape.

Hellsau/Big Headline/Desuwa/etc. are there any clans that are not insufferable that will take someone with my poo poo stats (~2k ovr / ~2550 recent): http://wotlabs.net/na/player/compeanansi I don't want to be in an anime clan, but I am seriously considering apping SHOJO or SNPAI since they seem to be the most active clans in strongholds that have good ratings. Maybe THUGZ or CLAWS would be more tolerable? I've lost track of who's who in the post-PBKAC world. I will note that I'm more interested in having credit boosts and grinding silver in strongholds than being super active in clan wars.

CitizenKain posted:My tank balance dreams, this is assuming +1/-1 doesn't happen. Although I wouldn't mind these even with +1/-1. I'd be OK with a rebalance of MM, and I'm one of the dudes talking about toroid-shaped dispersion patterns. I think you're on to something regarding HP changes; I haven't fleshed it out yet, but I'm thinking they could do something like have variable HP depending on tiering, so if for example you're bottom tier your tank gets an HP bonus to stay competitive. That way they wouldn't have to change anything crazy like pen or armor values on the fly, bottom tiers have the potential to be a little more competitive, and of course there's more HP to go around so players on both sides should be happy. Ammo & consumables could totally be à la carte; you have a supply limited only by your credits, so for example you have the option of repairing your tracks multiple times per battle if you think you can afford it, and I'm also fine with shitbergs going broke from unnecessarily spamming glods. There would have to be something to ensure you have enough credits for the battle; maybe you'd still set & pay for the initial equipment/ammo loadout and then if you went broke in the middle of a battle you would be down to your remaining supply in the tank.

WitchFetish posted:Convoy is... fun ? It really eludes me how WG could make something fun tho Convoy is fun driving around really fast, doing sick stunts, and holding leftclick with the autoaim mod. As a game mode, it's loving terrible. There is no reason for the bombs and repair packs to be randomly placed, because if the MK1 is in the southwest and the bomb spawns near the southeast defender's spawn, whoops the attacking team cannot win! If the MK1 gets tracked and the repair pack spawns next to the northwest attacker's base, whoops the defending team cannot win! It's really dumb and I wish it was just a racing mode - go long distances for points, do sick stunts for bonus points, destroy enemy tanks to reduce their points, etc.

So, for the T-44-100 mission, I'm realizing that in order to get any discount at all over buying it outright ($59) you have to complete TWO of the nations in-game; one gets you no discount whatsoever because gently caress you that's why. Each of the nations costs $9 individually, and it wouldn't make sense to buy 7 or 8 individually ($63 or $72), so you HAVE to have 2 completed to just buy the remaining 6 for $54. Thanks, Wargaming!

Hellsau posted:The actual key to fixing WoT is +0/-0 which would indeed require a total rebalance and the NA server would need to be merged and most likely the maps would need to be redesigned to be able to handle potential 7v7 or 10v10 matches, but whatever. +1/-1 would at least reduce the amount of wasted games, and increase the net amount of fun in World of Tanks, and also would allow Wargaming to try balancing poo poo for once. I'm amazed they have held onto the NA West/East split for so long. The ping times are so similar that it shouldn't even be a factor. They should have some internal MM that maybe tries to pit same pings against each other, but that would only be a "that would be nice, but not at all required if we can't get a 15 v 15 game scheduled" code. Also, maybe introduce 10 v 10 games as an option for the MM if it can't quickly put together a 15 v 15. I would rather play against 10 +/-1 tanks than being a teir 8 medium against a bunch of t10 heavies just so they could fill out a 15 v 15.
